"The Outreach Global trip to Ghana was truly a unique and inspiring experience. I was able to grow my nursing skills through valuable clinical experience and learned how to adapt in clinical situations where resources are limited. The people of Ghana were some of the friendliest I have encountered. Seeing a different way of life and the challenges faced by these communities opened my eyes to the privileges we take for granted..." – Shelby Pyron, Nursing Student

"...Witnessing a woman get the prescription for glasses she never knew she needed, sharing the smile of a man who had walked six miles to see us, dancing with a mother when I told her that her child was healthy, and holding a sick infant in my arms while we rushed to get his fever down – these were all experiences I will never forget and would never have had if it weren’t for this trip. The people of Ghana have my heart forever – their smiles were infectious and their joy a bottomless well..." – Cara Borowski, Senior Nursing Student

"If you are looking to step outside of your comfort zone, to serve an underprivileged population internationally, Ghana is definitely the place to go. For me, it was such an incredible experience to volunteer where it is really needed. Being able to work alongside the Ghanaian people, in the local hospitals and villages, was life changing. The people of Ghana were amazing and it was very exciting to see how much they appreciated the service we were providing..." – Bobby Tapley, 4th Semester Nursing Student

"Ghana was an amazing experience. I was initially nervous because this was my first time on a plane and out of the country. Having the opportunity to visit Ghana was a true culture shock for me. Everyone was so nice and seemed to be truly happy. This trip was a true eye opener as well. I am very appreciative of having the opportunity to visit Cape Coast Castle. I’ve learned and read so much about the slave trade and how Africans were treated, but being in the exact location brought so many emotions..." – Lakeisha Logan, Nursing Alumni, 2018

"The 2018 outreach trip to Ghana opened my perspective to a new culture, different healthcare and ultimately the real meaning of joy and appreciation. Getting to experience and contribute to healthcare in Ghana is an experience that I will have forever. I was able to assist in a head to toe trauma assessment of a patient who was hit by a truck. She was unable to pay for a scan so the doctor had to rely on our assessment to provide treatment. I was truly inspired by the doctor’s and nurse’s ability to make the most of their resources to help their patients..." – Morgan Blake, 2nd Semester Nursing Student
